Ten minutes later, Craig beat his man to the ball on the left and sprinted forward, his cross was headed back across goal and turned home to give Scotland the lead.

Scotland then added a third to confirm their passage through from the group stage.

Craig and his team mates will face Netherlands in the Semi Final on Sunday.
